Bridging the Mind-Heart Gap in Faith: 3 Tests

Do your actions align with the convictions in your heart and mind? Do you walk your talk? Do you drink water while preaching the same water?

Don’t Cherry Pick: Savor the whole counsel of God

This post was originally published on infalliblejoy.com When I became a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I was eager to drop the cherry-picking ways I had previously taken with Scripture.
